Abstract: A method and system for playing a terminal based lottery game having a slot machine theme includes assigning a defined set of objects to respective slot positions, the objects being unknown to game players. A player chooses at least one grouping of the slot positions from a plurality of possible groupings, and the system records the player's selection. For each of the slot positions, the system randomly selects an object from the set of objects assigned to each respective slot position such that a play set of the objects is generated for the player's grouping of slot positions. The player is awarded a prize amount that is a function of the number or combination of matches of objects within the player's play set. The methodology and system are particularly well suited for a poker slot machine theme game wherein the player's selected grouping corresponds to a poker hand, with the objects assigned to the respective slot positions corresponding to a poker deck of cards.

Abstract: A method for reverse geocoding location information obtained by a wireless communications device comprises determining the location information for a location, communicating the location information to a reverse geocoding server that reverse-geocodes the location information to generate location description data for a bounding region that geographically surrounds the location, receiving the location description data from the reverse geocoding server for the bounding region containing the location, and caching the location description data for the bounding region in a memory cache on the device. When the current location remains within one or more bounding regions cached on the device, location description data is fetched from the cache, thus improving application responsiveness. Only when the current location is no longer within the bounding region(s) does the device communicate a new request to the reverse geocoding server.

Abstract: A method of predicting a clinical outcome for a patient with congestive heart failure is disclosed. A plurality of nonlinear first PCI models are identified based on a biomarker dataset, each of the models having a number of distinct terms. One or more second PCI  models are identified based on the biomarker dataset, each of these models having a number of distinct terms which corresponds to the number of distinct terms for one or more of the nonlinear first PCI models. Each of the plurality of nonlinear first PCI models are statistically compared to one of the one or more second PCI models having a corresponding number of distinct terms to determine a preference for higher versus lower degree of nonlinearity or preference for shorter versus longer memory length. The clinical outcome is predicted based on the preference for higher versus lower degree of nonlinearity or memory length preference.

Abstract: A high frequency ballast for a metal halide lamp comprises a controller, a switch, and an oscillator. The controller selectively enables and disables the oscillator via the switch to ignite the lamp. The switch selectively tunes and detunes an induc-tor of the oscillator by altering an inductance of the inductor. When the inductor is tuned, the oscillator oscillates and provides power to the lamp. When the inductor is detuned, the oscillator does not oscillate and does not provide power to the lamp.
